Foredom Silicone Point Flat Top Taper 6x16mm C 2.35mm

Description:

The Silicone Point Flat Top Taper 6X16mm C 2.35mm is a coarse-grit finishing and shaping tool used primarily during the early stages of restorative contouring. Its coarse abrasive composition enables rapid material removal, making it ideal for reducing overfilled composite, contouring ceramic restorations, and adjusting provisional materials where significant reshaping is needed. The flat-top tapered design enhances accessibility to occlusal anatomy, proximal contours, and deep fissures. This geometry ensures stable adaptation during high-pressure adjustments, enabling clinicians to achieve desired bulk shaping efficiently. Although coarse in nature, the silicone matrix maintains controlled abrasion to prevent accidental over-reduction of surrounding enamel. Heat generation is minimized due to the silicone-based structure, contributing to patient comfort and protecting restorative materials from thermal stress. This point is commonly used before transitioning to medium and fine abrasive instruments, forming a key step in sequential polishing systems. The 2.35mm shank offers compatibility with standard contra-angle handpieces, ensuring easy integration into typical operatory workflows. It is well-suited for general restorative dentistry, including posterior composite placement, occlusal reshaping, and preparation of indirect restorations for final contouring. Its durability and consistent abrasive performance make it a reliable tool for achieving uniform shaping results, especially in procedures requiring aggressive yet precise material reduction.
